The idea of giving all to God is
not a troublesome idea, in fact many if not most would agree that the idea
itself is not the problem. I want to give all to God, and I try with every
being in my fiber, daily, to give all to God. It is, however, very problematic.
For us to give all to God, would mean to lose all of ourselves. We may say that
that is not an issue, but it is. I find C.S. Lewis’ excerpts very compelling.
Ever since I was saved, I have been behind the scenes of the church, and have seen
firsthand the mess. It is disappointing and disheartening to work for people
who claim such authority, yet live as if they have no responsibility to anyone
but themselves and the people of the church. They assume that God is behind
them, just because they have the position of authority. On a personal level, I
agree completely with C.S. Lewis, but have been worn by the years of ‘service’.
I pray that all who read these excerpts will understand it in its entirety.
